README
This component a continuation of MKiselev/yii2-broadcasting. It has been re-organized and udpated to work with Yii2 2.0.16.
You can use it to handle notifications through a websocket.
Requirements
- a working instance of laravel-echo-server, to handle the Socket.io server and channel authentication
- yiisoft/yii2-redis is installed by this package, for sharing messages with Socket.io server through Redis
- Laravel Echo and socket.io-client on the frontend, to open the websocket and listen for notifications
Installation
The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.
Either run
php composer.phar require --prefer-dist le0m/yii2-broadcasting:"~1.0.0"
or add
"le0m/yii2-broadcasting": "~1.0.0"
to the require section of your composer.json.
Configuration
Configure the component to use a broadcaster:
'modules' => [ // configure a redis connection 'redis' => [ 'class' => 'yii\redis\Connection', 'hostname' => 'localhost', 'port' => 6379, 'database' => 0, ], 'broadcasting' => [ 'class' => 'le0m\broadcasting\BroadcastManager', 'broadcaster' => [ 'class' => 'le0m\broadcasting\broadcasters\RedisBroadcaster', // use the redis connection component (default) or define a new one 'redis' => 'redis', 'channels' => [ // authorization callback for private and presence channels 'comments.{postId}' => function (yii\web\User $user, $postId) { // use basic roles or RBAC return $user->can('doSomething', ['post' => $postId]); }, ], ], ] ]
There are several broadcast tools available for your choice:
- NullBroadcaster Doing nothing, just a stub
- LogBroadcaster Broadcast events to application log
- RedisBroadcaster Broadcast by Redis using Pub/Sub feature
Usage
Setup Laravel Echo Server
See docs.
Server side
Add the action to authorize users access to private and presence channels:
class NotificationController extends Controller { // ... public function behaviors() { return [ // ... 'authenticator' => [ // define your authenticator behavior 'class' => HttpBearerAuth::class, ] ]; } public function actions() { return [ 'auth' => [ 'class' => 'le0m\broadcasting\actions\AuthAction' ] ]; } // ... }
Define a new event to broadcast by extending le0m\broadcasting\BroadcastEvent
, the public properties you define will be sent as message payload:
namespace common\models; use le0m\broadcasting\channels\PrivateChannel; use le0m\broadcasting\BroadcastEvent; class MessageEvent extends BroadcastEvent { public $text; public $author; public $time; private $_postId; public function broadcastOn() { return new PrivateChannel('comments.' . $this->getPostId()); } public function broadcastAs() { return 'new'; } public function getPostId() { return $this->_postId; } public function setPostId($postId) { $this->_postId = $postId; } }
And then broadcast it when needed:
$event = new MessageEvent([ 'text' => $text, 'author' => $user->username, 'time' => time() ]); $event->toOthers()->broadcast();
The toOthers
flag is used to broadcast a message to all channel's users except the sender. The socket ID header is used to exclude the sender.
Client side
Import and initialize Echo
, then start listening for notifications:
import Echo from 'laravel-echo' import io from 'socket.io-client' let postId = 13; const echo = new Echo({ broadcaster: 'socket.io', // will default to port 6001 of host host: window.location.hostname, authEndpoint: '/api/rest/v1/notification/auth', // this can be a whole URL client: io, // not needed if `io` is globally defined auth: { headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ...` // set headers needed for the authorization request to private and presence channels } }, transports: ['websocket', 'polling'] // give websocket precedence }) // attach connect event listener, to wait for a socket ID this.echo.connector.socket.on('connect', () => { // console.log(`internal socket id:`, this.echo.connector.socket.id) console.log(`socket connected with ID:`, this.echo.connector.socketId()) // attach listen events this.echo .private(`comments.${postId}`) // the initial dot is to ignore event namespace (derived from backend event class) .listen('.new', (event) => { console.log(`received comment from Echo:`, event) }) })
Here we wait for the connect
event of Socket.io connector, to obtain a socket ID before attaching our callbacks.
